Players for Aston Villa and Sheffield United kneeled on the pitch in the opening seconds of their Premier League match on Wednesday.
The contest marked the first Premier League match since March 9 due to the COVID-19 crisis. Players throughout the Premier League will also sport jerseys with "Black Lives Matter," written on the back throughout the first round of games following the coronavirus suspension.
Wednesday's decision to kneel came out of solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement following the death of George Floyd, who was killed in Minneapolis police custody on May 25.
